The above text in German, occupies four lines beneath an old block leaf, nine by thirteen inches square, representing the manners and customs of the natives of the Northern and Eastern coast of South America as first found by the Portuguese at the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century. It is without date, but was probably printed at Augsburg, or Nuremberg, between the years 1497 and 1504. It is believed to be unique. A facsimile of this earliest known xylographic leaf respecting America is given in Stevens's American Bibliographer, Part I.
